Film Heaters

Specially developed for use in modern driver assistance systems: innovative film heaters based on printed electronics.

Advanced driver assistance systems pave the way for autonomous driving. Since 2022, many systems are mandatory to increase road safety. To achieve this, the camera, radar and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems used in cars and trucks must function perfectly in all weather conditions. Especially in sub-zero temperatures, it is essential that the sensors quickly become ice-free and remain so for the duration of the journey.

Film heaters from Schreiner ProTech based on Printed Electronics and can be mounted in the enclosure of camera, radar or LiDAR systems. They ensure reliable and permanent de-icing of the sensors. The functional films are flat and flexible, making them an ideal solution for heating elements. Thanks to state-of-the-art die-cutting and printing technology, even complex contours with tight tolerances can be realized.

Film heaters are very light and can therefore be integrated into the sensor in an extremely space-saving manner.
